There is an urgent need for a more climate-smart agriculture able to feed a growing population whilst, at the same time, adapting to (and not exacerbating) climate change.  Our goal is to build collections of research on key topics in agricultural science so that researchers can build on existing work and collaborate more effectively. We are achieving this by using ’smart-publishing’ to help achieve ’climate-smart’ agriculture.

        Das Haus an der Herengracht

        Roman | Eine junge Frau zwischen Liebe und Vernunft in Amsterdams Goldenem Zeitalter

        by Jessie Burton, Peter Knecht

        Amsterdam, 1705: Thea Brandt ist gerade achtzehn geworden und will endlich tun und lassen, was sie will. Sie liebt das Theater und nach den Vorstellungen besucht sie heimlich ihren Geliebten, Walter, den Kulissenmaler der Schouwburg. Doch als Tochter einer verarmten Kaufmannsfamilie, die nach und nach ihren Hausrat verkaufen muss, um sich über Wasser zu halten, wird von Thea erwartet, „eine gute Partie“ zu machen. Auf einem Ball stellt ihre Tante ihr Jacob van Loos vor, einen wohlhabenden Sohn aus gutem Hause. Eine Heirat mit ihm würde Thea nicht nur vor einem Leben in Armut bewahren, sondern ihr und ihrer Familie auch einen Platz in der feinen Gesellschaft sichern, der ihr bislang verwehrt war – Thea ist unehelich und hat auffallend dunkle Haut. Thea muss sich entscheiden: Rettet sie ihre Familie – oder folgt sie ihrem Herzen? In ihrem fulminanten neuen Roman führt Jessie Burton uns durchs Goldene Zeitalter Amsterdams und erzählt von einer leidenschaftlichen jungen Frau, die ihren Weg selbst bestimmen will.

        Pre and Probiotics for Poultry Gut Health

        by Helen Masey O'Neill, Emily Burton, Dawn Scholey

        Poultry are the most widely used animal protein source in the world: billions of meat birds are produced globally each year, using 360 million tonnes of feed. Within Europe, over 30,000 companies involved in the production of poultry create an annual turnover of €107 billion. However, maintaining the sustainability of the industry as it moves towards antibiotic-free production is one of the key challenges. Starting with an overview of antibiotics as growth promoters and the challenges faced as the industry moves away from their use, this book then thoroughly considers the potential of pre and probiotic additives in poultry gut health. The book: - Includes thorough definitions of additives in the pre and probiotic space and examples of how they work; - Addresses how to test pre and probiotics and other similar additives, and how they interact with other products, with learning from both poultry and allied sectors; - Combines authors from both academic and industry backgrounds on all chapters, to ensure coverage is balanced, robust and commercially relevant. Based on the renowned World Poultry Science Association UK Branch Poultry Science Symposium 2022, this book provides a thorough and valuable contribution to the field for all involved with the nutrition and production of poultry.

        The elephant and the dragon in contemporary life sciences

        A call for decolonising global governance

        by Joy Y. Zhang, Saheli Datta Burton

        This book provides a powerful diagnosis of why the global governance of science struggles in the face of emerging powers. Through unpacking critical events in China and India over the past twenty years, it demonstrates that the 'subversiveness' assumed in the two countries' rise in the life sciences reflects many of the regulatory challenges that are shared worldwide. It points to a decolonial imperative for science governance to be responsive and effective in a cosmopolitan world. By highlighting epistemic injustice within contemporary science, the book extends theories of decolonisation.

        Irrigation and Drainage Performance Assessment

        Practical Guidelines

        by Marinus G Bos, Martin Burton, David J Molden

        Effective irrigation and drainage systems are essential if growing demands for water resources are to be met. For the use of water for irrigation to be improved we must understand current levels of performance. This book draws together the growing body of knowledge on irrigation and drainage performance assessment that has been gained over the last twenty years. It provides guidelines for practitioners to enable them to design and carry out performance assessment and implement performance-based management. Developed by a working group of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) it provides a generic framework for performance assessment with guidance on the theory and practice of how to audit and assess the performance of irrigation and drainage schemes.
